things not to do when you have the stomach flu

DO NOT crochet-
I know I know it sounds like a great idea BUT When you are all done with the project and you are feeling better You will have a moment or three of OH NO!

I made my mother in-law some mittens - I Thought they where ok.. I was sick and thought I counted right  hahahaha No. )
One mitten cuff was super long and the other had a thumb that was long.. one fit sorta and the other was too big.

Moral of the story.. no matter how much you think can may be able to do something- its probably NOT a good idea to craft when sick.

I had quiet a few people ask for things I hadn't really thought about bringing, So this next year Ill be adding more variety to my shop
More kids sized items such as  mittens , mitts, slippers, more bearded hats baby afghans.
I did have more people then I thought I would requiest synthetic material so Ill be adding more of those styles of things.
 my spouse said he can set me up slat wall on a A frame so I can go vertical and have a better place to display my scarves.
My mom and Aunt had a table next to mine and we had a blast.

sold two more hats - bearded hats

I had a last minute request for two more bearded hats- in bright orange- one blonde and one brunet.
When I showed them to the customer he was thrilled-
and then a few more people said they may like one so I may have some at the up coming fair IF I have time to make them.
